I was interviewed some time ago ( here's how I responded , in full) for a Pew report on the future of the internet , which has now come out. I am one of the people featured in the report. The report is being picked up, and I am quoted by Fast Company and ReadWriteWeb. MORE
An organization that I cited in the Revolution book, Towards Maturity , has recently released their 2015-2016 Industry Benchmark Report , and it’s of interest to individuals and organizations looking for real data on what’s working, and not, in L&D. The report has a number of useful sections, including documenting the current state of the industry, guidance for business leaders on expectations, on listening to learners, and on rethinking the L&D team.

We saw a larger number of reports and publications out there on the topic, but most felt stale and too isolated to the nonprofit sector. Could funders prioritize storytelling as a reporting and evaluation mechanism? The report is embedded below, or can be downloaded at this link. MORE
So I’m visiting the original ten, with my own brief progress report on each, to the degree I’ve kept track. Encourage reporters and editors to write linky text. Back in October, 2006 I posted Newspapers 2.o , listing ten “hopefully helpful clues&# for papers hoping to adapt to a world that would only get more and more of its news online. I ran the same list in August 2007, adding an eleventh suggestion. MORE
We've now published a revised version of it as an annual report and it makes for good reading. At our Christmas party in Singapore a few weeks ago, Angelina put together a slide set about the various events over the last year here in Cognitive Edge.

First, having worked on custom LMS, LCMS, Authoring projects and being pretty deeply familiar with SCORM, it's easy to blame the LMS for poor reporting on per-question reporting, but its very hard for an LMS to create generic reports that work well across all the variations that you run into. So, if the source of the statement "I'm not happy with their support for SCORM" is only the issues of reporting, that's a bit unfair. MORE
I'm in danger of having a whole month without blog posts, so just as August draws to a close I thought I had better get my act together! MORE
This is a growing area of work for us with a lot of organisations frustrated by complex reports with lots of figures but no context.

A friend recently had to produce a report at work. A tight deadline caused significant stress, and an important topic meant that it felt like it mattered.
